Tell us what you think

Very strange talk... But that would be a compliment!Definitely not what I expected. I expected something about the book, with "recipes" to do TDD well.What I got instead were a series of metaphors and networks of ideas that would persuade someone to get interested into why TDD is a good idea. :-)Lots of knowledge nuggets. A food feast for the brain -Tapas, actually.Steve talked about his career, feedback loops, fear and experimentation, utopia, cited Kent Beck and a few others...This got me into deep thinking.

The only thing I missed was a transcript. Not being born in the UK, I missed some words just because of the accent. A full transcript would be great.
